craig,
it seems very unusual that an infection can take hold so quickly as you are describing. <_< Are you 100% sure that it is an infection and not something else? Are there any other signs of infection, like fatty solids floating on top etc?
Also are you still using the liquid yeast that you've used before? It seems that the only brews that have made it through your shed so far have been those that have been brewed with dried yeast. Could your yeast starters (assuming you use them) be the source of the contamination?
Another thing, have you been aerating the brew with an air stone or similar? Maybe this is the source.
I hope you sort it out soon. It must be driving you crazy by now
